I just got the 2258 - because I already had the M12 battery and charger from my screw gun, so I got an open box on eBay that was missing the charger and case for 300. I did not have a specific demand for a thermal imaging camera, but felt it would be a useful tool for me in assessing existing buildings in my architectural practice.
The low resolution is not great, but I find I can generally recognize what I was shooting from the image. I can always take a regular photo of the subject with my phone if needed, but clearly a camera that took a regular photo at the same time would be useful. I'm fine with that because taking pictures with it is less important to me than seeing where heat is transferring or leaking.
The function it has with max/min tracer spots on the screen is actually very useful for focusing in on the spot where you want to take a max/min temp.
It has flashlight and laser pointers built in which is helpful - the lasers particularly if you can't tell what you are aiming at from the screen.
There is no tripod mount, as the M12 battery at the bottom of the handle has no such mounting hole. Not a huge deal, but be aware if you were thinking of mounting it.
File transfers from the card or cable are easy. The Milwaukee software does not run on a Mac - so no value there. I also find that whatever version of .PNG files that the camera generates, they come in to my MAC as all black if you open them with the native Preview app. But the appear fine with other image editing software, so I'm not sure why Preview is not reading them properly. If transferred to my phone they read correctly as well. Just some quirks for Mac users - lazy programming on devices as such is not unexpected.
